Frankie Wants Out - Prohibition

Heavily influenced by the music of the New York dance halls of the 20’s and 30’s and the more modern acts like Royal Crown Revue, they have developed a sound that is unique and very reflective of their beloved Melbourne. If you like to dance, and love music that packs a punch, then FRANKIE WANTS OUT is for you!

Prohibition, the follow up recording to FWO’s high selling EP The Melbourne Way, is a well mixed cocktail of styles including Latin, Rockabilly, Motown Funk, Dixieland and of course, Swing, the style they are famous for.

FWO, who have made a name for themselves as a “Gangster Swing” act have been working tirelessly for the last six months on producing this much anticipated album. The album was recorded all over Melbourne, from The Shed Studio to Tender Tap Studios to the Victorian College of the Arts.

Fans of Frankie Wants Out, who have been eagerly awaiting the release of this album, will be impressed with sing-able melodies, catchy horn riffs, cooking solos, jumping beats and a mixture of brand new material and live favorites, all performed by some of Melbourne’s most talented up and coming musicians.

What a groovey funky band I had the time of my life when i saw these guys jamin at Manchester Lane. After listening to the cd and hearing them live Frankie outshines all other gangster swing bands i have ever heard. It is a credit to them to be able to produce sound live that is just as good as on the cd well done to the guys cann't wait till the next live gig where ever that may be peace and rock on!!!!
